Antoinette Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Jeju

Kitty and I were looking forward to a leisurely breakfast at Antoinette Cafe & Bistro, but we were surprised to find the hours listed on Google were incorrect. The tourist information counter to collect the bike passport actually opened at 9:00 am, not 6:00 am, so we ended up grabbing a quick breakfast of instant noodles at a nearby G25, just like in a Korean drama.

We then headed to Antoinette Cafe & Bistro for a coffee and treat. The cafe has a beautiful, modern interior with large windows offering breathtaking ocean views. The ambiance was very relaxing and inviting, with soft Korean music playing in the background. It's worth noting that the cafe has a policy requiring each guest to order something from the menu, which helps ensure a pleasant dining experience for everyone.

We ordered a Caramel Macchiato and Omegi Dolquaz, which were both delicious. The cafe also offers a variety of fresh pastries, but unfortunately, they weren't available until 9:30 am.

While the cafe's location was beautiful, we wished we could have stayed longer, as the incorrect hours meant we had to cut our visit short. But despite that, I would still highly recommend Antoinette Cafe & Bistro. It's a lovely place to relax, enjoy a delicious coffee and treat, and take in the stunning...

After obtaining our bike passport stickers (a story for another time!), Donkey and I proceeded with our cycling itinerary, stopping at Antoinette for a coffee and dessert break. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries and a charming, cozy atmosphere. It was clear we had stumbled upon a local favorite!

What truly surprised us was the impressive display of pastries. They were so beautifully presented, it was hard to resist their tempting allure! We were informed that they only start serving pastries at 9 am, and as soon as they were displayed, we watched as the cafe filled up with customers eager to purchase their favorites.

Antoinette is definitely a must-visit for pastry lovers in Jeju. Their beautiful pastries are clearly a hit with locals, and the charming atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing...

Great recommendation and location by a family member.

Parking can be limited outside but many more parking spaces opposite on the road side.

Was wowed by the small array of offerings … wish I could order almost one of everything.

Had the breakfast platter and the beef stew cos was tired of Korean black pork food and hard to find beef on the menu unless it’s burgers.

Stew was not bad , but the bread was rather chewy.

The breakfast platter - nice but the small plate they served it on was rather overcrowded. The sausage skin was a bit thick, can be challenging to cut with the knife provided. They served guacamole for the bread as well as, I’m pretty sure homemade orange jam, as I could still chew on the crunchy sugar crystals. But nice.

Very very likely to come back again tomorrow for...
